Originally posted by DAMNTHEWEATHER View PostJust a closer look at the detail here for a mo....not trying to be smart.... But page 132 of Chap XX, Charlie mentions the disused Dispensary he decamped to when he had to get out of his former digs. But he mentions his flat mates in the Dispensary were (right enough) Joe Leonard....and....Jimmy Conroy (who bought the paraffin for the Custom House job) but no mention of Bill S or O'Daly being at the dispensary...... Or is it later on in the book at another hideout ?.....any chance you could ref me the page number ???

I think he gave Bill Stapleton a different surname in the book or was that Leonard ?
I have an original copy of the book here (somewhere), it`s been a few years since I read it.
But you can take my word that the pic is who I said it is.
Well I now have Bill S on page 190 at the dispensary....and page 219 refers to Daly living at home....so mystery solved.
I wasn't suggesting the pic was taken at the dispensary as I don't know where it was taken tbh.
I have a lot of pictures of the Squad here.
BTW the paraffin was brought to the Custom House by Anthony Flynn, he drove the truck.
As far as we know Conroy shot Francis Davis the Housekeeper / Caretaker.We'll sail be the tide....aarghhhh !!

Right a quick reply as I am on a break in work, My copy of the book is a hard cover original from 1929 (I think), which I have years, I read it once & never picked it up again, but I did enjoy it at the time.
Sorry I was thinking you said BROUGHT not bought as nobody paid for that paraffin, I thought that was common knowledge !
Yeah I have lots of Squad pictures & lots of ASU stuff (A lot of us relations of Squad men keep in touch & share information & pictures), I also have Republican PR stuff from the Civil War that I was given as a child & I have never seen it online. Post my stuff here, why ? what are you going to use it for ?, maybe some day, but it will be made open to the public soon but on a wider format then a forum first.
I have to say I kind of don`t like the way you dissect posts here.

In other words ...in order to make the reply crystal clear....thereby eliminating any confusion....
Like the old adage ....how do ye eat an elephant ? = Bit by Bit.. lol.
Mind you I am confused about that hardcover Charlie Dalton book you mentioned....but I'm sure you'll put me straight.

Sorry you don't like the 'quote tags' in my replies...but if they weren't there for the purpose intended... I wouldn't be able to use them, and that would be a bit of a shame....
Anyway always nice to talk to one related to an ex squad man....I'm learning.We'll sail be the tide....aarghhhh !!
